AAFCS and the book of Knowledge (BOK) Related to Sexuality in the family
Throughout your degree plan in Child and Family Sciences, you will be learning guiding principles of your professional organization. The principals will guide your professional practice when working with children can families in the “real world”. This assignment is related to the important Body of Knowledge (BOK) integrative element, Human Ecosystems. A second important Body of Knowledge (BOK) core concept is Basic Human Needs.
What Basic Human Needs are related to Sexuality?
• Part of an individual’s basic human need is to be able to have freedom of sexual choice and action, social well-being, including self-respect, dignity, peace, harmony, and good relations with family and community, and psychological well-being, including peace of mind, happiness.
How does the Human Ecosystem influence our sexuality?
• The body of knowledge ties individuals, families, and communities together through the family ecosystem theoretical model. Ecosystems within which families function include: (a) families, (b) the physical environment of space and the natural environment, (c) the human-built environment of housing, constructed facilities and equipment, and the application of technology to materials from the natural environment, and (d) the social regulatory environment comprised of the non-material culture, religion, and educational, political, legal/judicial, economic, and social systems. All the ecosystems influence our sexual values, beliefs, perceptions, expectations, and behaviors.
Bronfenbrenner’s Bioecological Theory must be used for the Analysis paper (Components are integrated, using APA citations, into the paper with understanding). You will also incorporate what you have been learning in class and use your textbook to include APA citations to support your connection with the course material and your experiences.
